    42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are: Monday = Blue, Tuesday = Gr een, Thursday = Red Friday = White and Saturday = Yellow. So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

    US Tax Day

    Helloooo TAX DAY!!! For many of you that haven't filed your taxes, it's Dooms Day! I have unfortunately already spent my tax return. I'm a bit sad about that actually! Here are a few jokes to cheer us all up...

    Tax Jokes from - Late Night TV? - Submitted By D. Kurtzman
    "We ought to thank President Bush. He made it a lot easier for people to do taxes this year. No job, no income tax this year." - Jay Leno

    "Earlier today, the White House released President Bush's tax return. Not surprisingly, under dependents, the president listed Iraq." - Conan O'Brien

    "President Bush released his tax returns yesterday. He listed the economy as a liability. He gets to write that off." - Jay Leno

    "Technically, you're not paying taxes. According to the Bush administration, your bank account is being liberated." - Jay Leno

    "Today the IRS gave some guidelines on how to avoid getting audited. Number one, don't list deductions that will raise a red flag. Number two, make sure you file on time. Number three, don't make any stupid anti-war speech at the Academy Awards." - Jay Leno

    "The IRS now says you can deduct weight loss plans off your taxes. You can write it off because the government has officially declared obesity a disease. And it's a disease, you can deduct medical expenses. That shows what a difference an administration can make. See under Bush, obesity is a disease. Under Clinton it was just sexy." - Jay Leno

    "Monday, April 15th, taxes are due. I just don't pay them. Yeah, this year Arthur Anderson did my taxes, I'm getting $6 billion back." - Conan O'Brien

    "Yesterday the IRS announced that obese Americans are entitled to certain tax breaks. Apparently, under the new rules, you're allowed to claim two or more chins as dependents." - Conan O'Brien

    "If your accountant is Arthur Anderson ... today is the last day you could have your tax documents shredded by April 15th." - David Letterman

    "I hate to be the one to remind you, but just pretty soon it is going to be April 15th, it is going to be tax time. You know what I am saying? Are you ready? Well you know when something like this happens New Yorkers always try to put the best face they can on a situation. For example the hookers in Times Square, for an extra $50 they will handle your extension." - David Letterman

    Fearful Thought For Cat & Other Animal Lovers

    Yahoo! News - Wis. Considers Legalizing Cat Hunting!
    Residents in 72 counties were asked whether free-roaming cats — including any domestic cat that isn't under the owner's direct control or any cat without a collar — should be listed as an unprotected species. If listed as so, the cats could be hunted.Statewide results were expected Tuesday.
    ...
    La Crosse firefighter Mark Smith, 48, helped spearhead the cat-hunting proposal. He wants Wisconsin to declare free-roaming wild cats an unprotected species, just like skunks or gophers. Anyone with a small-game license could shoot the cats at will.
    ...
    At least two other upper Midwestern states, South Dakota and Minnesota, allow wild cats to be shot — and have for decades. Minnesota defines a wild, or feral, cat as one with no collar that does not show friendly behavior, said Kevin Kyle with that state's Department of Natural Resources.
    ...
    One of the attendees was Katy Francis, who wore cat ears, whiskers, a cat nose and a sign that read, "Too Cute to Kill." For Francis, "The cat hunting thing brought me out because it was very extreme." | source: Yahoo! News - Wis. Considers Legalizing Cat Hunting
    What has the world come to? I can't fathom the solution to the over population of cats to be death. Mexico and China is overpopulated, we wouldn't condone killing it's citizens to solve that issue - Would we?

    Home Sweet Home

    It feels so good to be home. I've returned home after a two week vacation from Mexico exhausted. Every time I go on 'vacation' there I return tired and depressed. I have so much family there that all we do is visit many of them. The most tiring is the ride from Mexico city to my grand fathers ranch in Oaxaca. This time my brother in law drove, but still made it ~12 hour drive. Of course we stopped in between to grab a bite to eat and rest room stops. Anyway all the driving around and running around buying things can be tiring. There were fun trips here in there, like a ride through Xochimilco in a gondola, swimming in the river, hot springs(almost died there - tell you that story some other day) bought some puppies (stayed in Mexico, another story there), visited a nice park with my God parents. All in all a good time but I always returned depressed because I become attached to my family there and it hurts to say goodbye. Saying goodbye to my two elder sisters is even more difficult, but I love the luxury of having the comforts of my own home. It's good to be back :)
